IK. I'm just giving a situation. My deck doesn't matter in this situation. Tokens don't even matter. But let's just say that there were a deck, not a token deck, but a deck with tons of creatures, that manages to get creatures with an attack and block score of 10/10, even after a few are eliminated by cards from his deck. I'm just wondering what this situation would bring. Not trying to be rude ✌️

In said situation, aggro wins, control loses. If you get a 10/10 to stick against a deck that runs 2 creatures, you are not gonna gun that at the PW. I'd get it double strike to get it over with...

Yes, I was being rude as well. I apoligize.

For a case like that, control players run wraths. {Supreme Verdict}, {Wrath Of God}, {Final Judgement}, and etc. can help along with Gideon, clearing a board and swinging for 6 a turn while thy rebuild their board state is really good.

So let's say that your opponent does have a 10/10. You play Gideon, +2, let's say you don't even do anything else and pass.

Your opponent untaps, draws, smashes Gideon into oblivion and passes.

What did Gideon do for you? He gained you 10 life. For 5 mana? Not too good. But this is worst case scenario. It's almost a {Time Walk}.

If he sticks around he can keep almost {Time Walk}ing. And that is why he's good. I can understand where you're coming from in your evaluation of Gideon. I truly do. Sometimes he just bites the dust, it happens. But in doing so he saves you 8+ health. Like any Planeswalker he's best when he sticks around. But there's a reason I run three in my Superfriends and have been hunting some IRL copies. Try him on untap a few time. If you still don't like him, fair enough. But I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Ok. I do think we have spent a bit too much time talking about these planeswalkers. I think he should just pick his single or two planeswalkers and get on with it. We should probs start talking about his blue cards.

Thanks again to everyone for their suggestions and their opinions. I made a few more changes. I think this one fits what I am trying to accomplish strategy wise.

Coolie2

Np. Need more help just say so. I advise you test your improved deck with someone once you think ur done

I've been playing some test play with an aggro deck I have and it has played really well against it and it's a pretty strong insect based deck. I think i will have the most difficulty with a really fast deck with a lot of 1 and 2 drops and haste. Not really much i can think to do about it just hope I can wait out the early onslaught and get some creatures off the battlefield.

If I were including cards that were cheap enough to reasonably add to a deck, I would've included freakin Karn

{Supreme verdict} and {Wrath of God} are invaluable to help you against this.

Maybe also  {Path to Exile} It can get you to mid/late game where you want to be bc most fast aggro decks don't far wellin late game

Since this is casual, {swords to plowshares} is very arguably a better version of Path, and I believe it's cheaper.
